I'd rather not block getting this into Fedora on paralel instability between
the full and free versions of the package. A user should always be able to dnf
swap and use the full version of the driver as a short term solution, at least
since we're now talking about just getting this into Fedora, not default
presence in Workstation/KDE/... installations, imo. I am definitely planning to
open a ticket against this package to figure out some solution for this issue,
should this get approved.

There are bunch of options on how to achieve a proper solution, apart from
those proposed in the libva ticket ( https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/639
) and the ticket that Neal created, I had something like what we're doing with
wine-dxvk in mind. Short description: wine package creates alternatives handle
for various so files with lower priority in post-inst, wine-dxvk adds another
alternatives to that handle with higher priorities.

The only drawback there that I can think of is that user would have to have
free version installed in order to be able to install the full version (the
free version would own the alternatives handle, the full version would have a
higher priority), but Requires: intel-media-driver-free in the full blown
package would easily solve that.
